    Surrender is Not Giving Up: The Yoga of Trusting the Process without Shutting Down

    There's a space most women know intimately but rarely talk about - the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It's uncomfortable in a quiet, persistent way. Often confusing and conflicting. Sometimes grief tinged. And filled with the urge to control, fix, shut down, gaslight or force your way through it.  This episode is an invitation to try something different.  Through the yogic concept of Ishvara Pranidhana - the practice of surrender and trust - we explore what it actually means to accept your reality without giving up on what you want or abandoning your feelings. This isn't about giving up or pretending you're fine, it's about learning to take hold of your life with open hands. To take wise, embodied action while releasing the white-knuckled grip on how it's al supposed to look.  If you’ve been wrestling with trust, struggling to accept what is, or exhausted from holding others emotions while not tending to your own — this one is for you. 🌿 Free Resources for Women Ready to Grow  If you’re ready to step out of your head and back into your body, I made you a 10 minute guided somatic and restorative yoga practice:Get it here: https://kerimarino.eo.page/stuckinyourhead If you're ready to enjoy meditation and soak in the benefits (even if you've felt unsuccessful in the past.)

    Why I Really Do This Work — My Story of Childhood Trauma, Sexual Abuse and Coming Home to My Body

    I've never told this story publicly before now.  In this episode, I'm sharing the real reason I became a somatic yoga therapist - not the professional biography version, but the actual lived truth. The childhood that was full of love and also full of trauma. The religious upbringing that taught me my body was a problem. The relationship at 14 that became two years of sexual and emotional abuse I couldn't name until a class gave me the words. The eating disorders, chronic pain, body image struggles and anxiety.  And yoga - finding me at the height of suffering and showing me for the first time what it felt like to feel light, safe and at ease in my own skin. This episode is for everyone who's wanted my story over the years but hasn't known where to find it. For every woman who has been carrying something quietly for a long time. Who has done the therapy, the inner work, the journaling and still feels like they're living from the neck up...like something essential is just out of reach.  Reminder, you are resilient AF, you were never broken, there is a roadmap forward and you are not alone. I'm here with you and so many other are too.  💜 If you’re ready to step out of your head and back into your body, I made you a short guided restorative yoga practice: Get it here: https://kerimarino.eo.page/stuckinyourhead Meet Keri Marino  Keri Marino is a Somatic Yoga Therapist and founder of The Nourished Woman, helping women move beyond overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt into embodied confidence and nervous system balance.

    Done alot of Inner Work and Still Feel Stuck? Here's Why.

    You’ve journaled about it. Talked about it in therapy. You understand your patterns… So why do you still feel stuck? In this episode, we’re talking about the gap so many self-aware women find themselves in — where you know what’s going on… but your body hasn’t caught up yet. Because healing doesn’t happen in your mind alone. Your body has to feel safe enough to actually process what’s there. If you’ve been stuck in overthinking, analyzing, or trying to “figure yourself out”… this will help you understand why — and what’s actually missing. — 💜 If you’re ready to step out of your head and back into your body, I made you a short guided restorative yoga practice: Get it here: https://kerimarino.eo.page/stuckinyourhead 🌿 More Free Resources for Women Ready to Grow Good at Meditation and Restorative Yoga Guide For self-aware women who feel like you’re bad at meditation and are ready to feel successful.  Get it here -> https://kerimarino.eo.page/meditationguide Meet Keri Marino  Keri Marino is a Somatic Yoga Therapist and founder of The Nourished Woman, helping women move beyond overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt into embodied confidence and nervous system balance.

    Why You Keep Overthinking Your Emotions (and How to Actually Process Them)

    Have you ever journaled for hours, talked it out with your therapist, listened to every podcast episode about healing — and still felt stuck? If you're a woman who lives deeply in her mind, constantly analyzing her emotions instead of actually feeling them, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, we're diving into the pattern of over-intellectualizing emotion — what it looks like, why so many of us default to it, and why all the self-awareness in the world won't set you free if it stays in your head. Through the lens of devotional somatic yoga for women and nervous system healing, we'll explore how to gently move out of analysis mode and back into your body — where real transformation lives. Whether you're new to gentle and restorative yoga and inner work or you've been on this path for a while, this episode will give you practical, embodied tools to start feeling, expressing, and releasing what you've been carrying. This is the heart of what we do here at The Nourished Woman — and it just might be the permission slip you didn't know you needed. - - -  🌿 Start Here  - Free Resources for Women Ready to Grow Turn off Your Brain, Lay Down and Rest with Me For self-aware women who are stuck in your head and ready to feel grounded & at home in your body.

    Perimenopause, Self-Love, and Yoga Practice with Kat Smith

    Perimenopause doesn’t just shift your hormones — it often shifts the questions you’re willing to ask about your life. In this episode, I sit down with yoga teacher, Enneagram teacher, and TEDx speaker Kat Smith for an honest conversation about midlife, motherhood, and the moment many women realize they’ve been holding everything together while quietly running on empty. We talk about self-trust, desire, and how yoga and nervous system practices can support women through the emotional and physical changes of perimenopause. If you’re navigating midlife, feeling stretched thin, or craving a deeper connection with yourself, this conversation offers perspective, compassion, and practical insight. Meet Kat Smith Kat is an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, certified Enneagram teacher, Co-host of the Enneagram+ Yoga podcast and TEDx speaker who helps people better understand themselves through the powerful combination of yoga and the Enneagram. What began as a simple search for a workout before a ski trip quickly turned into a lifelong passion for yoga and the inner transformation it creates. Today, Kat is known for her grounded, thoughtful teaching style and her ability to help people uncover their patterns, connect with their strengths, and live with more authenticity, balance, and self-awareness—both on and off the mat.

    If Meditation and Restorative Yoga Feels Hard. Let's talk.

    If you’ve been waiting for meditation, breathwork, or restorative yoga to “finally feel easy”… this is your loving reality check. Learning to be still is a skill. And like any new skill — playing guitar, lifting weights, having hard conversations — it’s awkward at first. Your mind will wander. Your body will fidget. You will feel anything but enlightened and likely come up against anxiety at some point. That doesn’t mean you’re bad at meditation or restorative yoga. It means you’re building capacity. In this episode, we talk about why high-functioning women especially struggle with stillness — and why that’s not a flaw, it’s a training ground. We move beyond the fantasy of instant calm and into what actually creates embodied confidence and nervous system resilience: repetition, honesty, and small, devotional reps.  If you’re ready to stop waiting for calm to magically descend and start practicing your way into steadiness, this conversation will give you both the gentle nudge and the grounded truth you need.
